Kevin, is that shrimp and spaghetti? We're having that tomorrow lol. My wife makes great spaghetti so it was highly requested. Then everyone likes shrimp of course.
 
I bought some shrimp but then decided to go throw the cast net. I should've done that first, I could've saved myself some money. There were some nice ones in the bay tonight.
